Rear washer not working

ian77 · Dec 29th, 2019, 11:53

My rear washer on the V60 has stopped working. Pump goes, no fluid. Taken the wiper arm off and no fluid comes out the tube so either it’s blocked or has frozen at some point and popped a joint. No sign of fluid leaking anywhere obvious but does anyone know what the route of the pipe is from the front reservoir to the back of the car? Otherwise it will be something for the dealer to look at while they swap my steering wheel buttons!

Are you getting any white deposits coming out of the rear one before it blocked or from the front ones, if so you have the same problem which a lot of people have had, which is well documented in previous posts.

Nope, not been afflicted with the white deposit issue in the 15 months I’ve owned it.

The non return valve will be blocked, need to take the boot trim off the tailgate to access. Give it a clean and all will be well.

This is exactly what it was, got the dealer to sort it today whilst they were replacing the steering wheel buttons. Thanks!
